Excelllent - one good period lookng Mini.

Still on drum brakes at the front? I'd be fitting some 1/2" spacers just to bring the wheels out to the arches a bit more.

Have to agree, looks really overarched at the moment, but more so on the front which is strange.

Does it have spacered drums on the rear?

Looks great, much better than it did with the body kit, also agree with the above it does look a little over arched imo. Otherwise great. :)

lovely job mate, Such a shame about the rear quater panel. Get that fixed and she will be gorgeous.

What wheels are you running?
I personally dont like spacers so maybe you could change the brake set up or wheel size instead?
